Once upon a time, there was a camel who lived with his master in a village. The camel was very strong and hardworking. His master would take him to the fields and forests to collect wood, and the camel would carry heavy loads on his back.
One day, the camel’s master decided to go on a long journey across the desert. He packed his belongings and set out with the camel. As they walked across the vast and scorching desert, the sun beat down on them relentlessly. The master began to feel tired and thirsty, and so did the camel.
After a few hours, the camel said to his master, “Master, I am very thirsty. Can we please take a break and rest for a while?” But the master ignored the camel’s request and continued to walk. The camel became more and more thirsty and tired as they walked.
Finally, the camel could not take it anymore. He stopped walking and said to his master, “Master, I cannot go on any further. I am very thirsty and exhausted. Please give me some water to drink.”
The master replied, “I am sorry, my dear camel, but I have no water to give you. We have to keep walking until we reach our destination.”
The camel felt sad and hopeless. He thought that he would die of thirst in the middle of the desert. But then he had an idea. He said to his master, “Master, I can give you a suggestion. If you cut a piece of my flesh and eat it, you will not feel thirsty anymore.”
The master was shocked at the camel’s suggestion. He had a soft spot for the camel and could not imagine harming him. But the camel insisted and begged his master to do it.
Finally, the master gave in and cut a small piece of the camel’s flesh. He ate it, and to his surprise, he did not feel thirsty anymore. The master thanked the camel for his sacrifice and they continued on their journey.
From that day on, the master treated the camel with more kindness and respect. He realized that the camel was not just a beast of burden, but a loyal and compassionate animal who was willing to sacrifice himself for his master’s well-being.
The moral of the story is that we should treat our animals with love and respect, and not take them for granted. We should appreciate the sacrifices they make for us and show them the kindness they deserve.
